Volume 1 Chapter 49 The Dust Has Settled
In the face of Valer's sudden questioning, Xiugus was a little angry for a moment, and his wrist subconsciously moved to the dagger on his waist. But the next moment, he restrained his emotions in time, and just stood aside silently, waiting for Thor's arrangement.
Lorton glared back at Valle before turning back to the two of Saul:
"There is no need to discuss the profit part, just according to the method you said, I think this distribution is very reasonable, and there is no problem. ”
Thor turned his head to look, and Lorton's expression had returned to his usual flatness, and he couldn't see his true thoughts.
Maybe Lorton thought it was just a whim of a few hairy boys, and he didn't care much about the amount himself. It may also be because he once pulled him at a critical moment, and Lorton is grateful, so he has such an attitude now.
But these are exactly the last things Saul wants to see, because he is talking about business and cooperation now, and he does not want to wrap interests and favors in a bunch.
In fact, Saul and Shogues had a sum of money in their hands, which was the harvest of the winter search for food, scattered with silver and copper, and the total value was about twenty silver coins.
With start-up capital and a batch of herbal materials brought back from Bardy Moore, in fact, Saul and Shugues alone are enough to operate the sale of potions, but the scene is just smaller.
After the skull army attacked that night, there were two more people in the know, Lorton and Valer, in order to eliminate the instability in it, which led to Thor's invitation to cooperate today.
Since they agreed to cooperate, in order to give Lorton and Waller a certain sense of involvement, Saul proposed to let them join in the form of funds, and at the same time, his own and Shogues's funds could also be withdrawn and left as a way back.
To put it simply, the Lortons only need to invest money and wait for their profits to double. And he and Shogoth will bear all the processes and risks, including production, even if they accidentally miss, according to their own and Shogoth's character, they will not bite anyone.
So for the previous profit distribution plan, Saul didn't feel that there was any problem, and he had a clear conscience.
But now Valle is questioning, and whether he has a point or not, it must be confronted.
There are complaints and ideas in each other's hearts, and there is a rift in the group, if they are not taken out in time and put on the table to explain clearly, it is obviously not conducive to the cooperation and getting along with each other in the future.
Seeing that the atmosphere in front of him was faintly trending in an unpleasant direction, Thor smiled and waved his hand.
"I'm sorry, I was negligent for a while, I should have talked about risk first and then about profit. ”
"Although Grey Curtain is only a border town, there are also various forces in the town, and once we decide to step into the adult world to grab profits, we naturally have to take the corresponding risks. ”
"After all, the medicine is currently in a blank period, the benefits are there, and there are many people who covet it. ”
"You may think that this is just a trivial business for a few dozen silver coins, but other forces will not see it that way. Because they don't care about how much money a few kids can make from this joking business, it's about pharmacy itself. ”
"Compared to those forces, the size of a few of us is too small. Pharmacy is in our hands and in the hands of those forces, and the profits created are two numbers, ours is too small, theirs is big. ”
"Once they have obtained the method of preparing the medicine, under the condition that they have enough strength to escort them, they only need to increase the production intensity, and this industry will become a snowball in their hands, bringing them a steady stream of profits. ”
"The reason why I said that I want to make a quick buck in the short term is because the original intention of Xiugux and I is only to obtain a source of enshrinement money is enough, this matter cannot be operated for a long time, and other forces cannot give us a chance to live a long time. ”
"To be precise, if we enter the market, there is a certain probability that other forces will target us. But if we want to occupy this benefit for a long time, this probability will become inevitable, and the risk is obviously not something that a few of us who have not even had a coming-of-age ceremony can bear. ”
"You must have thought of all of the above, after all, both of you have your own industries at home, and you will definitely be more far-reaching than I thought in terms of layout. Anyway, I have said so much about the risks, in fact, I hope you will think about it again. ”
"You're saying it well. As soon as Thor's words fell, Lorton looked directly into Thor's eyes and said sincerely.
Then Lorton immediately added.
"Without thinking about it, I believe it will be a successful investment. ”
Thor waved his hand again.
"Now let's go back to the profits. ”
"You put in the money, and Shogux and I will take on the production and the associated business process and the series of risks that come with it.
"To be sure, the risks and responsibilities that Scugers carries are the heaviest of the four of us, and the most important part of this business. ”
"So he took 30% because he was worth the price. ”
As he spoke, Thor kept his eyes on Valle, hoping to convince people with his amiable tone.
Valer's mood had long since calmed down, and he and Saul looked at each other, listening attentively.
"In addition, we are not without a way to control profits. ”
"As I said before, as long as we can ensure the speed of supply of herbal materials, we can also increase the production intensity according to the market consumption. I believe that as long as this business goes well, you can eventually invest at least two to three times the amount of money you invest. ”
After listening to Saul's words, Valer's eyes were faintly excited. Twenty silver coins may not be a trivial matter, but when multiplied several times, it is not a small amount of money.
Thor's gaze swept over the faces of the three men in front of him.
"In the end, I came up with a way to maybe mitigate some of the risk and add more room for maneuver for Shogues. ”
As soon as the words landed, the three of Lorton, including Shogues, looked at Thor at the same time.
After all, the risk has been thoroughly analyzed just now, and everyone knows very well that once you step into the adult world, you will fall into a cruel competition of interests, and the slightest carelessness will escalate to a situation of armed conflict.
And if both sides of the confrontation are tough and unwilling to retreat, it will often end up in a situation where they will never die.
Now hearing that there is a way to reduce the risk, all three showed great interest and curiosity.
Thor got up and walked into the corner to dig out a worn-out book, then came back and opened it to everyone.
Pointing to a spot on the page, Thor spoke his thoughts.
"In the history of the Sarvinian continent there have been many famous forces, the Mutual Aid Society, the Freemasons, the Commonwealth, the Brotherhood, the Sisterhood...... Too much. ”
"In different eras, these forces have risen to prominence and stepped on the biggest stage. But after several ups and downs, they have long since disappeared and sunk in the long river of time, leaving only countless legends. ”
"So I thought maybe we could create a force by ourselves, and then choose a name from history to use for ourselves, so as to achieve the purpose of borrowing power. ”
After listening to Saul's words, Xiugues held his hands and muttered, and Lorton also rubbed his chin and fell into thought, as if they were judging the feasibility of this method.
"Create, you mean a few of us working together to form a force?" Valle seemed to have some idea, and the excitement and ambition in his eyes tended to grow more and more intense.
Thor shook his head.
"It's not formation, it's fiction. ”
"It's not that simple to run a force, and we don't necessarily have that ability. Even if we do it reluctantly, it will only be a fool's errand, not to mention that it does not have any risk resistance, and it will make the sale of potions more complicated, and there is no need to do it. ”
"But fiction is much simpler, we just need to build momentum, take advantage of it, and set up a fictional force in the town from scratch to shelter us. Even if other forces target us in the future, they will have to weigh it before they make a move. ”
"Okay. Although it was a little different from his imagination, Valle was not too disappointed, but nodded thoughtfully.
With a snap of his fingers, Shogues reached out and pointed at Thor.
"Don't choose, Brotherhood, it's that name, and it can only be that name, because I like it. ”
Shogues's words were unexpectedly echoed by Waller.
Seeing that all three of them were waiting for their attitude, Lorton looked up and laughed.
"I like it too. ”
The atmosphere of the discussion suddenly became much more enthusiastic, and everyone carefully sorted out the whole plan from beginning to end.
In terms of collecting herbal materials, Thor currently has limited materials in his hands, and Loton proposed to go to the tavern or the mercenary guild to issue a commission, after all, the main source of medicinal herbs in the town has always been those adventurers who wander the wilderness all year round.
And it is not possible to issue a commission in the name of a single person, it is best to spread out four people and quietly sweep the goods in their own names at different times, and strive to minimize the attention of all aspects. Everyone agreed.
After the general details were finalized, the discussion also came to an end.
Just as Lorton was about to leave, Thor stopped him.
"One more thing, maybe you have to trouble your blacksmith father to build a batch of iron insignia for us, and the cost will be deducted from the total profit in the end. ”
"The number is tentatively twenty, round, palm-sized, and the emblem pattern we can discuss later, and I think it should be used in the process of building momentum. ”
Lorton smiled and shook his hand.
"As the son of a blacksmith, this kind of trivial thing is really nothing, I can do it personally, and there are ready-made molds. Don't mention the cost or anything, it's just a little iron and it's worth anything. ”
"If you can, if you can treat the surface of the emblem a little bit, I mean try to make it look old, like the feeling of time. Saul added.
"You mean old, right? That's easier, don't worry, I'll probably be able to send it the day after tomorrow." ”
